Question 1 Read scenario A and answer the questions that follow:
INC3701/103/2024 7 Scenario A. Tommy is 10 years old. He attends a school
8 km from home. He lives in a two-room house that he shares with his mother,
his 85-year-old sick grandfather and eight other children. His mother is blind
and cannot find a job. Because no one in the house earns an income Tommy
is often hungry. He and the other older children in the household take turns to
stay home from school and care for the grandfather. His schoolwork suffers
because he is not able to attend school every day. He must also fetch water
from a river that is 1km from home every morning before school and is often
late for school. When he is at school, he often finds it difficult to concentrate
because he is usually hungry and he worries about his grandfather a lot. He is
also sad because his father left home to look for work and never returned.
When he gets home after a long day at school, he works in the neighbours’
garden and then sells the vegetables to earn some money to buy food for the
family. The teacher does not know why Tommy comes to school late and why
he is absent so often. She shouts at him for not doing his homework and for
his poor performance at school. Tommy gets nervous when the teacher
shouts at him, so he sits at the back of the class so that she won’t notice him.
But Tommy is partially sighted and can’t see the board from the back of the
class. No one knows about Tommy’s eyesight as his eyes have never been
tested. His academic performance gets worse and worse. 1.1 Discuss 5
